a.k.a. Culitomatón
YUSTO / GINER presents, in our space in Madrid, Voy despacio. Llevo 1 ol la de sopa , a solo exhibition of the artist Laura Lagraña a.k.a. Culitomatón.
“All the pieces that make up this exhibition are inside this pot of soup. Before I fall asleep, I often imagine watching a horse gallop by a lake. Sometimes I runb beside it, though I don’t like to ride it. It’s an image I’ve turned to since I was little, whenever I feel like the soup is about to spill over.
The ingredients of the soup are: the vertigo that gathers in your belly when you get on a carnival pirate ship; laughing so hard you cry while having breakfast with your mom; watching deer at night in the rain, caught in the headlights, and seeing the steam rise from their warm bodies; finding peace resting on the chest of the person you love; the energy that surges up your arms and makes your body shake, trembling, because your body can’t hold the intensity inside it…
What’s inside will always dance with me, hand in hand, and we’ll take slow steps—and sometimes very intense ones. I cling to extreme memories, and from them are born guardian figures with tiny worlds of their own, living together inside the soup I carry, very slowly, between my hands.”
This exhibition is an invitation to slow down, to let emotions simmer, to treat tenderness as an act of resistance. Through a visual language that merges humor, fragility, and the vibrancy of color, the artist proposes a sensitive choreography where the ordinary and the fantastic boil together, releasing steam, memory, and desire. The show brings together a series of sculptures that interact like ingredients in the same emotional recipe. Each piece is an extension of that symbolic pot where the intimate meets the absurd, where laughter and melancholy share the same slow-burning flame.
Yusto/Giner will keep “I’m Going Slowly. I’m Carrying a Pot of Soup” open to the public until December 30, 2025.
About the artist:
Laura Lagraña (Culitomatón, Barcelona, 1995), based in Bilbao, holds a degree in Illustration, Ceramics, and Sculpture from IAE Pau Gargallo (Badalona). Straddling sculpture and illustration, her practice transforms a gray, fast-paced world into one that is playful and absurdly colorful. Her process begins with drawing, where ideas emerge and then gain autonomy through color and its relationships; ceramics come last to give body to the characters and, through glaze and materiality, to move away from the first line and build a tender, playful, and deeply human narrative.
